I have used tanks, tubs, and PVC cages and tanks are by far the worst. I spent easily twice as much time trying to keep the humidity and temperatures correct when I used tanks vs tubs/PVC cages. I even live in a place where the humidity inside my apartment never drops below 50%.

My BP has never had any problems being in a tank. Always had complete sheds, and has never missed a meal. However, when she is full grown I will probably switch to a tub just because I really don't want to deal with a 40 gal breeder. Im also getting a JCP at Tinley and when it is big enough that will probably be my "display" snake so i will have it in a tank. But I agree, tubs seem like they would be convenient. Also, quick question, what size tub should an adult female be kept in?

Thats really weird... I would figure in florida it would be super easy. All I have is the screen for my tank covered in aluminum tape and i cut holes in it for ventilation and it stays at 60% consistently.
Re: Humidity is too high in my tub
Check out vyprz sticky on tub set up. Really glad I did or I may have made too many holes to begin with. Def more holes should help. If ever need be you can tape them up (So long as they are small). Hopefully that and smaller water dish will help.

I know i was lol!
Totally. Initially I thought I would hate to have them in tubs tucked away. But the switch to tubs has been wonderful. Much easier to control climate and snakes totally love it, plus takes up a whole lot less space.
